Imagine: Both the story and the memoir are set in cities. How would the characters be different if the events took place in the suburbs or in the country? Explain. Speculate: Do you think John Leguizamo would have listened to Mama Lil's advice? Why or why not? Evaluate: Would Bebe have gone to the bridge without Mama Lil's consent? Would John Leguizamo be a comedian with out his teacher's words?
